In addition to the new NYC date, Explosions In The Sky have announced their new LP, due via Temporary Residence Ltd in Spring 2011. More details on that are to come, but for now you can dig on all world tour dates and a video trailer for the Radio City show below.

Laughing hysterically at 2:09. You are a bozo. Bowery ballroom is amazing sound and sight lines. Joe's pub is amazing sound and sightlines. Radio City? Cmon you idiot. Yeah it's much much better than somewhere like MSG and a million times better than Terminal 5 but it is still a large echo cavern. And please tell the people in the upper balconies that it is perfect sightlines.
Love this band though and glad they can play a venue like this for you non discerning concert goers.
Also for the clueless I doubt this will sell out or even have a second date added unless of course the usual shady promoter ticket shennanigans go on. One thing is for sure, there will be plenty of people basically giving away tickets the week of the show for nothing.

We're excited (and a little nervous) to announce that on April 6th we'll be playing at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Radio City is one of the most legendary and beautiful theaters in the world, so we feel pretty honored and lucky. It's like some sort of absurd daydream come true for us. Anyway, we'll be playing a bunch of new songs so we hope some of you can make it out that night. If you're interested in tickets, please go here.

Speaking of new songs...as we'd mentioned previously, our new album will be coming out sometime this spring. We're anxious to get it out there into the world and we'll have more details about it in the next few weeks.

definitely gonna wait for the full tour. $52 seems a bit excessive. didnt they charge like $10 a show on their last tour? i specifically remember them being remarkably low ticket prices. $20-25 seems appropriate for this band.

You could only get balcony tickets for spoon on the first day of the presale, but it didn't sell out until the day of or so. Ticketmaster manipulates the seating to create fake demand, so you tell your buddies that the shows about to sell out when it isn't.

Very true. There's no reason why ticketmaster couldn't do seating like they do at BAM, for example. Let the initial buying storm subside, then let people choose specifically with a "map" from what's left.

^ exactly, Ticketmaster hates to do anything that would result in convenience for their clients. I spent 20 minutes searching for tickets today, getting shit selections, dumping, repeating, and finally I pulled center orch row DD. It's annoying, but strangely fulfilling at the same time when you come out on top.
